"I love the DVD and I use it all the time!!! It is very convenient for me to do my yoga practice at home. There is a variety of yoga practices and I love to try different ones depending on my state of mind or my physical body. I especially like the breathing exercises and the meditation.
I recommend it to any one!!"

"Your confidence as an instructor really comes across on your instructional DVD Yoga Here + Now | Yoga Aquí + Ahora. This helps me to relax (because I trust you!) and easily follow your guidance. The special effects also create a wonderful ambiance for me to relax into. This is SO important to my practice. I really like how the DVD is organized into segments for different levels of intensity. The main menu is SO cool! I would recommend this to anyone interested in Yoga and “getting it right”. Thank you, Ruben! What a wonderful gift you have created to share with others… Beautifully done!"

"Thank you for Yoga Here & Now! Ideal for anyone thinking about trying yoga – this dvd will hook you even if you’re torqued and live an action-packed life. And perfect for the already-initiated. Having had the good fortune to be instructed by Ruben, I can tell you that this dvd is exactly like a class with him. He’s energizing and rejuvenating, healing and relaxing. The verbal and physical descriptions are easy to follow. The instructions don’t get in the way of my practice. I appreciate the separate segments which allow me to work at my own pace. I’ve tried several “beginner yoga” dvds and this is the only one that is truly for beginners. I am buying more to share with friends – what a gift!"

"I think the DVD is excellent in many ways:

1. Your voice is clear, calm and concise when you teach. The way you choose your words and use your voice leads students into the experience of "steady and comfortable" in their yoga postures, just as Yoga Sutra 2:46 instructs.

2. Your sequences are logical and flow from one posture into another seamlessly.

3. It is excellent that you teach Ujjayi breathe at the beginning of the DVD, and bring students back to an awareness of/practice of that breath throughout the asana portions of practice.

4. I very much enjoyed the sequence through which you take students through savasana.

5. The pranayama practice at the end of every session is excellent. I have never been taken through a practice quite like it before, and it certainly does create a strong sense of calm centeredness.

6. I like the way you create some of the longer classes by putting together parts of the shorter classes. For a student who works with your DVD over time, that will be a great help in the mastery of the poses.

I would most definitely recommend your DVD to anybody"

"I have been traveling. I brought Ruben's DVD with me and started doing the beginners I section. I love it. I am an addict. I will wait until I get better at this one to advance to the beginners II. I feel a lot of relief in my back and this morning when I woke up I could not feel any discomfort in the middle finger of my right hand, which has been half numb for a long time now.
Anyway, I just wanted to let Rubén know that I am seriously enjoying the workouts and I can feel my muscles relaxed."
